The Benefits of Rugs

There are a number of benefits that area rugs offer from splendour and comfort to safety and sound reduction but there are a number of factors to consider before you buy, such as material, pattern, size and price.

Adding an area rug to an existing floor covering, carpet, tiles or wood will help protect areas where traffic is high e.g. hallways, as well as provide an easy way to give your home decor an update.

Wool is considered to be the most effective material for area rugs. Wool is soft, resilient, versatile and is available in a multitude of colours.

Synthetic Fibres:

Acrylic

A cheaper alternative to wool. Acrylic rugs can achieve the look and feel of wool rugs. Strong, lively colours are possible using acrylic .

Nylon

An excellent choice for heavy traffic areas due to exceptional resilience combined with the ability to be cleaned easily.

Polyester

Hard wearing and long lasting, a good choice for medium/heavy traffic areas.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is highly resistant to moisture, is very strong and abrasion resistant. Heat Set Polypropylene has a soft wool-like-feel, has less sheen than standard polypropylene but is generally a little more expensive.

Viscose

Has a soft silk-like appearance and will often be referred to as 'faux silk'. The advantage of using viscose is to increase affordability and durability without losing the wow factor.

Some rugs will have creases when new due to being rolled for transit, in general these should remove themselves one laid out for a few days. You could try laying the rug face down to aid the process.

Please Note: Rugs with long pile yarns and those made of wool will shed fibres when new, this should reduce during the first few weeks of use. However, some rugs will continue to shed lightly throughout their life cycle.
